Head of Obama's campaign expresses concern that Republican candidates will be able to outspend president in 21012 race

"The Democratic party has watched aghast at not only the amounts
raised by Republican presidential frontrunner Mitt Romney – who is
favourite to take on Obama for the White House – but Republican Super
PACs storing funds for the general election, such as Karl Rove's
American Crossroads.
Messina said American Crossroads and
Crossroads GPS raised $51m last year while comparable Democratic groups
collected only $19m over the same period.
Until recently, it had
been widely assumed that Obama would be the first candidate to have a
record-breaking $1bn to fight a White House campaign and his Republican
rival would be behind, with about $750m. But these calculations are
being up-ended."
